Definitions
- the invention relates to a sealing sleeve for masking the aperture between a positionally stable wall and a shaft penetrating a bore through the wall, which sleeve includes a bellows for compensating offset positions of the shaft.
- a sealing sleeve is known from a publication of Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft of Stuttgart, Federal Republic of Germany, assignee of this application, illustrated in technical drawing FG 21 90, which masks the interstice between a vehicle body end wall of a passenger compartment of a motor car and a steering spindle protruding through a bore in this wall and seals the bore against passage of dirt. So that the installation dimensions, which differ due to tolerances, do no jeopardize the tight fit of the sleeve, the latter exhibits a thin-walled flexible bellows compensating any offset of the steering spindle which occurs.
- An object of the invention is therefore to construct a flexible sealing sleeve with improved sound insulation.
- This object is achieved by providing a second sleeve which is anchored together with the first sleeve and is disposed to form a sound insulating air chamber between the first and second sleeves at least in the area of the bellows.
- the sealing sleeve which is flexible by virtue of bellows, seals the wall aperture against dirt, dust and spray water, whereas conjointly with the second sleeve connected thereto an air chamber is formed which conjointly with the walls, which are now double-acting, largely prevents the sound waves from penetrating the wall aperture.
- the second sleeve exhibits externally a cylindrical external circumference, whereby the overall volume is only slightly increased compared to a single sealing sleeve, but due to the interval between the sleeve walls the compensating movement of the bellows of the sealing sleeve is not obstructed.
- a combination of the two sleeves which is favorable for production is provided, wherein the second sleeve is molded integrally onto the sealing sleeve at one end, and by inversion round the latter and clipping in of a free end forms a sound-insulating air chamber conjointly therewith.
- FIG. 1 is a partial schematic, part sectional view of a sealing sleeve between a wall aperture and a steering spindle shaft with a second sleeve connected thereon, constructed in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a partial view of another preferred embodiment of the invention with a sealing sleeve with a second sleeve molded on integrally at one end.
- a sealing sleeve 3 is arranged to mask an aperture between a vehicle body end wall 1 of a passenger compartment of a motor car, not further shown, and a steering spindle 2 penetrating a bore in the end wall 1.
- Sealing sleeve 3 abuts the end wall 1 with one end region and the steering spindle 2 at the other end via a sealing part 4 accommodated rotationally stably thereby.
- the sealing sleeve 3 exhibits a bellows 5 by which an accurate seating of the sealing sleeve 3 is ensured even in the event of a steering spindle 2 offset out of the center, within the values of the installation tolerances, because it compensates such an offset by modification of its form.
- This sealing sleeve 3 has attached to it externally a second sleeve 6, which is clipped to the ends of the sealing sleeve 3 at two connection points 7, 8.
- the interval between its walls is determined by its configuration so that during the movement of the bellows 5 compensating an offset of the steering spindle 2, sleeve 3 and 6 can execute a corresponding relative movement between their connection points 7, 8.
- the sound can no longer pass unobstructed through the closed double-walled air chamber 9 constructed in this manner, but is attenuated.
- the second sleeve 6 exhibits a cylindrical external circumference, whereby the overall volume of the combined sleeves 3 and 6 does not substantially exceed that of a single sealing sleeve 3, so that the use of the combined sleeves 3 and 6 creates no installation problems.
- a second sleeve 6' is molded integrally onto a sealing sleeve 3' at one end 7', and can be inverted over the region of a thin-walled bellows 5' and then clipped in an all-round notch 10 of the sealing sleeve 3' by its appropriately shaped loose end 11 at connection 8'.
- an air chamber 9' is created which reduces the passage of sound in the region of the bellows 5'.
